Anecdote: dropped an iPhone 6 to the bottom of a pool. Failed spectacularly bringing it back up a few times. Total about 2-3 minutes submerged at around 2m.

Put the phone in a rice bag for 2 days, charged and it's working fine :)

I've seen the rice treatment work also, but chances for success are reportedly better if you do not try to turn the device on first.
